FYI: Minder, AS4, BP/BSP testing

Hi,

    

    The following may be of interest to people in this TC.   From [1]:

    

    Minder is a generic online programmable flow control engine that
      provides capability of interconnecting different systems in one
      node and enabling architects to perform complex communication
      operations on those interconnected systems. The model is named and
      based on Oasis Test Assertion Model and thus is more of an
      interest for conformance testing of any kind of system to a target
      specification. The model allows the programmers to
      create-group-edit-execute test stories (or more formally test
      assertions converted to test cases) and inspect and publish
      reports and logs about the results. In this sense, we may
      technically call Minder as a testbed in spite of
      the fact that it provides a more generic architecture.

    

    You can access a running instance of Minder, and see the
    functionality currently covered, at https://193.140.74.199:9000

    That instance is used, among others, for conformance testing of the
    OASIS AS4 standard [2] with a focus on the e-SENS AS4 profile [3]. 

    

    A planned next step is to implement the test assertions defined in
    BP 2.0 [4] and BSP 1.1 [5], or at least the subsets that relate to
    AS4, which normatively refers to those specifications. 

    However, the BP and BSP tests could also be of interest to Web
    Services implementations not relating to AS4 that want to conform to
    BP and BSP. 

    

    Minder and the AS4 tests were developed by Tubitak in Turkey [6] for
    the EU e-SENS project [7].  The AS4 test assertions were designed by
    the EU Commission [8].

    

    Kind Regards,

    

    Pim
